There is no better time to learn this lesson than while seated as a passenger in the back of the van, while your 16-yo student driver is behind the steering wheel and Dad is coaching.

What I need is some duct tape to keep my mouth shut. Go ahead and give me a brace as well, to keep my foot from stepping on my very own invisible brakes.

Three Hail Marys and meditating on the Most Holy Name really helps though, if there are any of you who have been in this position.
